Post by: Nick on January 30, 2009, 09:37:01 AM

Driving home earlier the Today programme reported that reports were coming in of police being called to deal with demonstrations at various industrial plants consequent on the 'Jobs for Italians' scandal in Humberside

Ah, here it is:

Flash in the pan or straw in the wind?

Good ~ now let's burn a few Italian lorries on the motorways ~ if there are no Italian lorries around anything with a foreign number plate will do.

Can't post the link as it probably won'yt work for you's...AOhellL shite. sick2:

I'm quite looking forward to this tbqh.
Civil disobedience on the way nationwide, at last?

These smug thieving bastards in power have had it their own way for far too long.

Let's get the ball rolling and show them we've had enough. cussing:
